Handel: Judas Maccabeus»rank: 31908de: Vanguard
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Vanguard has an excellent catalog of Handel oratorios, ably conducted and often very well sung by the cream of English oratorio singers--in this case with Heather Harper and John Shirley-Quirk among them. As far as the performance as a whole goes, however, it must inevitably yield before more modern versions, whether on period instruments or not, which play the work complete and have a more lively and informed approach to Baroque performance practice. Fans of the singers need not hesitate, though. --David Hurwitz |

Theodora»rank: 31908de: Vanguard
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt's good to hear Maureen Forrester in her prime. Though famous later in her career as a Mahler specialist, the Canadian contralto made many fine recordings of Baroque music for Vanguard, and this is certainly one of them. However, as a performance of the oratorio it must yield to Nicholas McGegan's superb version on Harmonia Mundi, which is complete and features an even finer lineup of singers. --David Hurwitz |

U.S.A.»rank: 31908par: Arditti String Quartet
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This is the only recording of three of the eight works heard here. Arditti uncovers a powerful early work by Alvin Lucier, who is known primarily for his electronic music. Lucier's Fragments (Rome, 1961) has each player performing at his own speed, and the quartet improvising on a single pitch! The other two premiere recordings are Jay Yim's Autumn Rhythm, named after a Jackson Pollock painting, and La Monte Young caught in his Webern stage (1956). John Cage's Four, written for the Arditti Quartet, gets a 20-minute reading. The ... |
